CHAPTER 25
Cloudtail and Sandstorm carried Brindleface’s bodyback to the camp, but there was no time for the mourning rituals. Apparently1 she had gone out hunting alone very early, and the other cats had only just noticed that she was taking a long time to return. Her burial was a hurried affair, carried out by Cloudtail and her two kits2, Fernpaw and Ashpaw, while Fireheart summoned the Clan3 together.
They returned as Fireheart stood at the foot of the Highrock waiting for the rest of the cats to gather. Cloudtail paced back and forth4, his tail lashing6 fiercely.
“I’ll flayTigerstar!” he vowed7. “I’ll scatter8 his entrails from here to Highstones. He’s mine, Fireheart, and don’t you forget it.”
“And don’t you forget that you’re under my orders,” Fireheart told him. “Right now we have to deal with the dog pack. We’ll worry about Tigerstar later.”
Cloudtail bared his teeth with a hiss9 of frustration10, but did not argue.
Meanwhile the rest of the Clan were huddling11 in a shocked and silent crowd around Fireheart. Cinderpelt appeared from Bluestar’s den13 and limped rapidly across to him.
“Bluestar’s asleep,” she meowed. “Better to tell her about this when we’ve worked out a plan, don’t you think?”
Fireheart nodded, wondering how his leader would react when she found out that all her fears about Tigerstar were true. Would the dreadful knowledge drive her into madness once and for all? Pushing his fear aside, Fireheart turned to address the Clan. “Cats of ThunderClan,” he began. “This morning we discovered that there’s a pack of dogs on our territory, living in the caves at Snakerocks.”
